- Summary:
- In poems that are as concentrated as pearls, Patricia Sykes explores various histories - her own, those of her forebears, and the wider histories of identity and place. Citing the intersection of three distinct philosophies with particular birds - the indigenous modewarre, the colonial biziura lobata, and the common Wathaurong musk duck-these poems set out on the winding paths of memory and aspiration, searching for answers to the questions What is home? and What is identity?
